    I Find This Reprehensible

    I know, I know. I don't need a lecture about free markets or supply and demand. Still, folks who choose the quick buck during a period of panic won't get my money later on down the road.

    Nice Deal on a Hunting Combo at Dick's

    Saw a good deal at Dick's Sport Goods today for anyone interested in a hunting combo. For $300 plus tax (after a $30 mail-in rebate), you got a Mossberg 535 with a 22" barrel and a 28" barrel. I believe both barrels had fiber-optic sights. Everything was camo. You also got a Tru-Glo red dot...

    Went to Buy an H&R Pardner

    but I came home with this: Adding an extension to the H&R was going to put it around $260 to $270 with tax. After doing the math, I realized the Remington with magazine extension was just $100 more at $360 out the door. I won't have to worry about parts fitting, and I feel better buying an...

    What's the Deal with These Crazy Turkey Guns? Thumbholes? Pistol Grips?

    So I pop open the Bass Pro sale flyer to check out the sale shotguns for turkey season. Almost every single one had a thumbhole stock or a pistol grip. :confused: Do these things really afford that much better control? I've killed turkeys with three different regular-stock 870s and never...

    Fair and objective reporting? Not even close. Check out the last couple of paragraphs especially. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18246417/site/newsweek/

    Remington Genesis ?

    Anybody tried one of these in-lines? Am thinking about looking at them :D, but I have a couple of concerns. Accuracy (of course). I know Remington imports the barrels for these guns. Clearance for a scope, because of the way that the primer loads.

    A Heart Warming Scene at K-Mart

    Was on a road trip this past weekend, and we pulled over at the Fort Payne, AL exit to grab an item or two and stretch our legs. K-mart was the closest option that was open, so in we went. Of course, I humped it back to Sporting Goods out of curiousity and there, lo and behold, was a cabinet...

    First AR - Question

    About all I've decided on is that I want to start with a Bushmaster. Everything I've read about the product and customer service has been pretty positive. Beyond that, I'm lost in a sea of options and model numbers. Is there any primer out there that gives a good overview of all the...

    ARs at Academy Sports?

    Looking for a first AR at a good price. Can't seem to go wrong with the Bushies, which I have seen at Academy Sports. Was thinking about picking one up next month. I think that they sell the M4A2. Correct? Can anyone tell me about the Academy ARs?

    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is?

    Anybody else cutting the NRA or GOA a check after seeing the election results? Of course, the proper time was really before the elections, but I'm going to raise my yearly donation after seeing what unfolded. That "Easy Pay Life" plan is looking pretty good.

    Gun Coatings?

    Asked this over in Shotguns, but thought I might get more looks & responses here... I have an Express Super Mag 870 (black synthetic forearm/stock) that I'm thinking about getting camo-coated for duck hunting. Not too interested in Brownell's Duracoat as I don't have a place big enough to...

    Gun Coatings

    I have an Express Super Mag 870 (black synthetic forearm/stock) that I'm thinking about getting camo-coated for duck hunting. Not too interested in Brownell's Duracoat as I don't have a place big enough to bake the gun. Have looked around a bit and found these two companies that coat...

    Why You Camp/Hike with Enough Gun

    Hikers are usually villified on hiking boards if they mention firearm carry. However, this story should be enough to remind folks that they call it the wild for a reason. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/14/bear.attack.ap/index.html

    Odd 870 Jam

    Was patterning a new 870 for turkey yesterday. After the first round--a 3" Hevi-Shot load--I tried to pump the action to eject the spent hull and got nothing. Wouldn't budge a bit. I thought it was just a stuck shell, so I removed the barrel along with the forearm assembly and eased the two...

    How many shotguns do you own?

    Just curious what the numbers look like around here. Thought a poll would allow folks to participate anonymously if they so choose.

    Chamber Brush ?

    Noted a thread a while back where some folks advocated paying more attention to cleaning the chamber. I'll admit I've been pretty lax in that regard. Honestly though, I don't put that much shot down the tube of my turkey gun. Probably less than 10 shots each year. However, my 1100 (dove...

    Favorite .30-06 Factory Load for Deer?

    Application is white-tail deer hunting. Since I'm not taking long distance shots where I hunt, I was thinking of just picking up some plain old Remington Express Core-Lokt in 165 grain. Thought I'd get some opinions here first... What factory loads do you shoot in your '06? Any loads you...

    Camo for turkey? (or) Would YOU buy this gun?

    I have hunted turkey in the past with a black synthetic 870, and to my knowledge, have never had a turkey spook because of the shotgun. Still, yesterday I was in the empire that Sam built, and I spotted a 870 Super-Mag with a 26" barrel, Realtree HD camo, and sling studs for $298. Seemed...
